The Mobile Web is Slow
What Happens at runtime? • Fetch, format and Display Data
• Handle UI Events • Move Pixels
Fetching Data
None
None
Caching: The cause of, and solution to, all of life's
problems
$.get('data.json', dataCallback);
$.get('/data.json', dataCallback); myDAL.getData('key', callback);
getData = function(key, callback) { if(cache[key]) return cache[key];
$.get('/data.json', function(data){ cache[key] = data; callback(data); } } myDAL.getData('key', callback);
window.localStorage['cache'] = JSON.stringify(cache);
TTL Writes Invalidate Cache
Eviction www.flickr.com/photos/75397401@N02/ 5mbs of localStorage Strings stored as UTF-16 Characters
Maximum Storage space: 2.5million Characters

Computing the size of the Cache. JSON.stringify(localStorage).length
Handling Events
Event handling is a conversation
If a gesture is in progress, the UI must be
in motion.
Moving Pixels
30fps = 33.3ms Per Frame 60fps = 16.6ms Per Frame
None
Write-Only DOM
getOffsetHeight : 74% slower than get className
If you can, cache the value, not the node
None
None
var offsetCache = {}; function getOffsetHeight(id) {
if(offsetCache[id]) { return offsetCache[node.id]; } else { offsetCache[id] = document.getElementById(id).offsetHeight } }
this.nodePositionMap[thisId] = { top: thisNode.getY(), height: thisNode.get('offsetHeight'),
defer:photoList[i].defer ? {img_url: 'bar'}: false };
None
background-‐image: 'foo.jpg'; background-‐size: 100%; transform: translate3d(10,10,1);
None
None
User feedback comes first
isSwiping = 1;
function handleXHR(resp) { if(isSwiping) { setTimeout(function(){
handleXHR(resp); },20); } processData(desp); }
None
• Load image ~ 300ms (async) • Find Faces ~
100ms (sync) • Compute Entropy Crop ~ 30ms (sync) • Smooth Animation (sync)
Run Animation in a Separate Thread
slide1.style.transition = transitionDuration +
's transform ease-‐out'; slide1.style.transform = computedEndFrame;
Run Slow Code in a Worker*
Run Slow Code in a Worker* *except on Android Browser
worker = new Worker('/smart-‐crop-‐worker.js');
UI Thread Handles Events and Orchestration
• Cache data where possible • Update the UI on
events, use transforms when possible • Multitask when you can, both with threads and yeilding
